POPSStand with Tibet - Support the Dalai Lama " China's economy is totally dependent on "Made in China" exports that we all buy, and the government is keen to make the Olympics in Beijing this summer a celebration of a new China, respected as a leading world power. China is also a very diverse country with a brutal past and has reason to be concerned about its stability -- some of Tibet's rioters killed innocent people. But President Hu must recognize that the greatest danger to Chinese stability and development comes from hardliners who advocate escalating repression, not from Tibetans who seek dialogue and reform.

POPSChildren taken away because of a breastfeeding photo in Texas The excerpt above is taken from "Oxytocin and breastfeeding - does this hormone make breastfeeding a sexual act?" on http://www.007b.com/breastfeeding_sexual.php I'd like to call attention to the central issue, that, as I suppose, is given in this quotation: "My sister couldn't breastfeed because it felt good. She thought, if it felt good with her baby it must be a sin ...." (Loco citato.) In my humble opinion, it is rather a capital sin to plant such a superstitious crap of false, hostile, self-destructive morality in girls and women.

POPSNo extra military Handout for Israel from USA 'President Bush assured us last week that things are under control. “The fundamentals of our economy are strong,” Bush told a press conference August 9, the day after the three French banks shut their mortgage funds, sending the New York stock market tumbling in response. “I am told there is enough liquidity in the system to enable markets to correct,” the president added. That is, Bush believes there’s enough cash to cover the current failures. The market is saying there isn’t.' This input from Bush frightens me more than anything with his record for LIES and DECEPTION. Inevitably this must be a lie. Now is it a deliberate lie or will it turn out to be a lie in time, one that he isn't yet certain is a lie. GOD HELP US ALL.

POPSBeautiful Chinese jade carvings I saw these in China in a place they were selling these things. It was actually some kind of place where they trick wealthy western people to pay very much out of everything. They actually pay almost nothing to their workers...anyway these are kind a same but not the best I've seen. There was some 4meters tall walls and some 6meters long "wooden" ship and some lions almost realistic size and everything. There are some pics in my website: http://www.cgart.fi/index.php?option=com_rsgallery2&Itemid=26&catid=4
